Jenny I was wrong. The error message says it needs 590, so I have to free up at least 220. How can I do that? I tried it both thru WIn and rebooting w/ same results. Total mem is 192 and I'm using CD version. Thanks.

Mostly what you need to do is make sure the HIMEM and EMM386 lines are in place and you need to use Loadhigh and Devicehigh in front of some lines.You can also get a lot of memory by using the Cutemouse mouse driver instead of one that comes with your mouse.

I don't see anything there that would cause any problems with Windows. But you may not have all the files that are mentioned in that file. For example, if you don't have a Toshiba CD drive, it's unlikely that you have a Taisatap.sys file on your computer. And if you do, the path might be different to where the file is on your hard drive.

However substituting DEVICEHIGH wherever you see DEVICE in the config.sys should not hurt anything.
